Jamaica/s 2015 guide is also worth adopting. See Jamaica's food-based dietary guidelines. Here's the link: www.fao.org/nutrition/education/food-dietry-guidelines/regions/countries/jamaica/en/ African and Caribbean countries with concern for the health & wellbeing of their citizens, would be well advised to adopt, adapt and promote these programs without delay. All leaders of all Afro- organizations in all other countries should do the same. Refusal is not an option!

- Beginning in the year 2021, we select and publicize the AHU PERSON OF THE YEAR, this being the individual, group, idea or other entity that has done the most to further the ideals, interests and dimensions of our universe. The 2021 AHU PERSON OF THE YEAR was Mia Amor Mottley, Prime Minister of Barbados. She, and the government she leads, made an impact during the year which transcended the ordinary, in terms of foresight, dimension and import; culminating in Barbados becoming a Republic on the 30th of November, 2021. Kylian Mbappe, winner of the Golden Boot at the Football World Cup, humanitarian and consummate professional, was our 2022 AHU PERSON OF THE YEAR. Our unanimous choice for 2023 is Geofrey Nzamujo of the Songhai Agricultural Program for Rural Prosperity. (If you do nothing else, google his program on the internet, study it closely and promote it to all organizations - large & small, governmental & non-governmental, social, cultural, educational, athletic & religious; in Afrika & our global diaspora - that are genuinly interested in our collective prosperity. Dr. Nzamujo's work is the inspiration for the AFRIKAN HERITAGE UNIVERSE PERSON OF THE CENTURY initiative, the details of which will be disclosed during our annual AHR event on the 17th of August, 2024.

(** AHU prefers ten $1,000.00 investments from different individuals to a single $10,000.00 investment from one person. Yes, we need funds to survive and succeed; but not as much as we need a network of committed panAfricans!)
_______________________________________________________________________
We must each pledge to invest our talents, our energy and our resources for our betterment and that of Afrika, our ancestral homeland.
Let us all commit to work together for our global prosperity and that of Afrika, our ancestral homeland!
